ADDRESSES: Christine Lehnertz, Superintendent, Grand Canyon National 
Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, telephone (928) 638-7945, 
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items under the 
control of Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon, AZ, that meet the 
definition of

[[Page 32321]]

unassociated funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The 
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
Superintendent, Grand Canyon National Park.

History and Description of the Cultural Items

    In 1935, three cultural items were removed from GC 62 in Coconino 
County, AZ, during a vegetation project by the Works Progress 
Administration and the National Park Service. The three objects were 
kept by Claude A. Wagner Jr. until 1974 when he donated them to Grand 
Canyon National Park. The three unassociated funerary objects are one 
copper bracelet and two metal bells.
    GC 62 is described as a cremation site, about six feet in diameter 
with evidence of a large fire. No human remains were collected from GC 
62. The site is located in an area traditionally used by the Havasupai 
Tribe and cremation was a Havasupai burial practice. The Havasupai 
Tribal Council has identified the items as likely coming from a tribal 
cremation.

Determinations Made by Grand Canyon National Park

    Officials of Grand Canyon National Park have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the three cultural items 
described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or 
near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of 
the death rite or ceremony and are believed, by a preponderance of the 
evidence, to have been removed from a specific burial site of a Native 
American individual.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the 
unassociated funerary objects and the Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai 
Reservation, Arizona.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian Tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim 
these cultural items should submit a written request with information 
in support of the claim to Christine Lehnertz, Superintendent, Grand 
Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, telephone 
(928) 638-7945, email [email protected], by August 13, 2018. After 
that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of 
control of the unassociated funerary objects to the Havasupai Tribe of 
the Havasupai Reservation, Arizona may proceed.
    Grand Canyon National Park is responsible for notifying the 
Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation, Arizona that this notice 
has been published.
